I have found this resource to be extremely useful in going over data structures and algorithms to prepare for interviews. Although the author doesn't always conform to the standard implementations of certain data structures and often is overly verbose in his code, it is a pretty robust treatment of the basics

That is akin to if you don't like it, then leave, which is just a way of avoiding potential solutions to the problem. See ergo decedo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergo_decedo
Why not just tell users that Facebook does not endorse or condone any specific user content? No one blames Verizon if someone uses a racist insult on the phone...there is precedent for users grasping how a common carrier works.
Of course this is all about advertising. Advertisers want to be associated only with dull, bland speech. This is also why network TV is so bland.
It is probably safe to assume that just about 0 percent of people under the age of 20 have a college degree (not including the few savants who graduate high school before turning 18), which essentially makes this statistic useless. It gets even worse when you take into account the commonly understood fact that it takes many students more than 4 years to complete a degree. This attempt at using a statistic that does not make sense in context really degrades the value of the entire article and makes it seem like the nations youth is worse off than it actually may be.
> not including the few savants who graduate high school before turning 18
I graduated high school before turning 18.
I never skipped a grade at any point.
My final year of high school consisted of taking four classes, of which three were taken only because they were graduation requirements: "English 12", "History 12", and "Acting 3". It may shock and surprise you to hear that the content of "English 12" and "History 12" was not appreciably different from any other "english" or history classes at the school. In particular, they were not different from "English 8" and "History 8", except in that they counted toward the UC "four years of high-school-level english and history classes" requirement and the "* 8" classes technically didn't.
It doesn't take a savant to graduate before turning 18. All it takes is realizing that staying in high school is stupid.

Steve Jobs may have missed the mark on some of his products during his long tenure at Apple, but his focus on quality in every possible area of what he had a part in creating has paid its benefits
